Syria condemned a bomb attack in neighboring Lebanon on Friday that targeted a security-force convoy and blamed "Lebanon's enemies" for it, the official news agency SANA said.
It cited a Syrian official as "condemning the attack perpetrated this morning in Beirut and affirming that it aimed at Lebanon's security and stability."
SANA said the official had "reaffirmed Syria's permanent attachment to Lebanon's security and stability, and stressed that Lebanon's enemies were behind these attacks in that country."
The bombing killed 5 people, including Captain Wissam Eid, a member of Lebanon's Internal Security Forces, according to army and security sources.
In Beirut, a senior Lebanese security official said Eid was involved in many investigations concerning bombings in Lebanon.
